Two TikTok users posted footage of what appears to be a juvenile crocodile in the lagoon-style pool at the Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas, in far north Queensland, over the weekend.
“I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there is a crocodile in the Sheraton pool,” Lisa Keller says in her TikTok video.
In a second video, Keller shows hotel guests continuing to sunbathe on lounge chairs around the pool.
A spokesperson for the Queensland Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (Detsi) on Sunday confirmed wildlife rangers responded to a report of a crocodile sighting made via the QWildlife app.
“Wildlife rangers removed and rehomed a crocodile on October 18, following a report via the QWildlife app of the animal in a Port Douglas hotel pool,” the spokesperson said.
“Crocodile warning signs have been placed in the area by wildlife officers.”
